PLEASE help can't answer my little sister's question!

She ask me IF I can give a situations where you can observe the objects accelerating/decelerating free fall bodies and objects that traveled at trajectory path

I AM SO ANGRY cause can't answer her question :(((((((

PLEASE HELP ME~~~~~~

For the good of the community (and the poster), the OP is here translated into English:

I am rather frustrated because I can't answer her question.
Please help me.
Thanks
 


I good place to start studying free fall and trajectories is with tennis balls in a field. Have someone throw the ball with different initial forces, and different initial angles and observe the trajectories. The ball follows a parabolic trajectory because the acceleration due to gravity is constant.
 


The moon!
 


Roll a tennis ball off of a ramp into midair. Right when it hits the end, drop another one straight down from equal height. You can do this by hand or set up a neat little contraption to do everything exactly on time.
